Alder Manor Wedding, Yonkers, NY: Rebecca and Jason

Jewish Orthodox Wedding at Alder Manor

I don't usually say much about weddings I shoot but this one was so special in many ways.

Rebecca and Jason got married at the Alder Manor that is not your typical wedding venue. This not-yet-fully-restored manor house is just a photographer's dream come true!! What was so special is that all the money made off the wedding goes back to the restoration of the place.Rebecca's mother made the flowers.The dinner for over 200 guests was served a family style.The bathroom walls were covered in brown paper on which the bride has handwritten love poems and other stories the couple loves.Rebecca wore her granny's dress which she bought in 1936 for $30 and Jason wore his father tuxedo.

Fantastic work! Fantastic wedding! Stunning images! The image of Rebecca being blessed by her father is my favorite. That makes me feel more than if I was just there; it literally puts me in the bride’s shoes.

Congratulations on capturing masterful images of one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever seen.
